I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...
There are lots of PSB Vids (Fan vids or otherwise) on Youtube..
Thought there could be a unified thread of all the links :)
Let me start off with this one..

Now…what we want, what we really, really want…is MCMLXXXIX bloody well released!!! Stop giving us what we already have and let’s get the full MCMLXXXIX tour remastered and released on DVD and 2x CD like they did for Discovery! If they don’t want to spend money on the production of a physical...

Greetings,
A Man From The Future (soon 10 years ago... it's sick, a whole symphony-like body of work just laid to waste).
I asked about that in the questions to Annually, so hopefully they deign to answer it.
Behaviour wasn't commercial at all except So Hard. In fact, it wasn't a good move. If I were them, I wouldn't work with Liza in some good songs to keep them for myself and create a better album. With the same level of production the songs for Liza had and the voice of Neil, PSB had a really good...
Last post
I see many reactions on Youtube to songs and videos of PSB and casual people don't feel an special emotion with the songs from Behaviour. PSB love this album and fans has overated it but it's not that good.
OK that's a pretty heavy confirmation bias you have going there. Honestly, why bother...
The BPI has awarded the pet shop boys a few updates on their sales awards.
PopArt has been upgraded from gold to platinum status.
Ultimate has been awarded with a silver certification.
A few more could follow. :D
These sales awards are based purely on sales, not shipments. They are based on the...

It’s A Sin has been certified Gold in the U.K for sells(downloads) and streaming points of 400,000.This award does not include the original physical sales of the original release which was almost 1/2 million.
Myself (Graham) and Dog (Chris) have made the brave (or foolish!) move to record a series of Pet Shop Boys fan podcasts.
Prior to recording, we had only met once ‘on a wet Wednesday night’ in a pub near where we both live in West Yorkshire in the north of England. But we thought it might be fun...

The podcast led to me here, makes the train journeys much easier to work .
Looking forward to series 3
Ha, welcome Happy to help!
I had a listen to Memory of The Future the other day. The extended mix is such a perfect example of a transitional track. It would've fitted perfectly on Electric.
So are there any other transitional tracks like that, where we are in one era but get a track which tells us about the new era/album.
I...
Last post
A transitional image was Was It Worth It? with the soft toy models of them that ties into the next release of Can You Forgive Her that also had models of the Boys on the cover.
True, that's an aspect I hadn't thought about. Was It Worth was poppy/happy like Very, not like Behaviour (although one...

I’ve hoping they don’t announce any dates for the end of August, I’ve noticed New Order are on in Manchester, with Johnny Marr as support

I’ve taken the liberty of starting a new thread to help us separate chat about the new EP.
I’ve spent a bit of time re-reading the 2016 edition of Literally. There was obviously unfinished business from the Super songwriting sessions. First, there was the mooted “dark techno” album which...
Last post
I see nothing wrong with the tracks on Super. But considering the B-sides, Lost, Brick England and perhaps Agenda and Musik, there is room for different track lists making room for 2-3 (quite short) albums of different concepts released between 2016 and 2018/9.
2016 Super = dancey pop songs

I recently stumbled upon a great YT-account where the user does superb extended mixes of amongst others PSB. There are about 50 PSB and PSB-related tracks. The mixes are using original sounds, no own additions of beats and stuff and mostly they can be regarded as re-edits. Many of the remixes are...

most are decent, but some are repetitious just repeating the same sections twice
Apparently the song Rent is featured in the movie?

This movie is strange and brilliant. I highly recommend it. I’d say that the inclusion of Rent is quite a good plot point.
My friend and I laughed a lot in this movie, probably in places where we weren’t supposed to 🤣
I think I mentioned it before that I have in my possession the japanese version of Popart with a thick booklet containing in japanese language:

Now I wonder. Does anybody here know Japanese sufficiently for a translation...
33 years ago Pet Shop Boys Being Boring became the first PSB 45 to miss the UK Top 12 since they broke big with West End Girls. In one of our trio of interviews, Neil Tennant told me he & Chris Lowe “looked at each other with abject horror” when the chart position came through. The...

Technically, it was actually the first to miss the UK Top 19. The author forgot Love Comes Quickly.
Which is arguably one of their greatest singles too.
A legendary Pet Shop Boys album is released on CD, digital and limited-edition vinyl, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Very Relentless . The limited-edition yellow vinyl version, exclusive to the PSB Store, and the CD will be released on 20th October.

The 'piracy' argument for 'previously released, but now unobtainable' (especially niche) content is pure and unadulterated high-horse nonsense.
If 'piracy' (and lack of monetization) is the concern, then the solution is to re-package and re-release the remixes and performances (if available) that...
Hello fans of the Pets, check out this video this cat did on Youtube, pretty legit.

This is a lovely remix of a great song. I know I'll get hanged for this, but I don't really listen to fan mixes - I always hear there are great ones out there, and I don't disbelieve it - and for sure there are some TERRIBLE official remixes - but I'd rather stick with the N&C approved stuff.

Just wondering which of PSB albums have been released in instrumental versions

Electric - some kind of special release

This might sound very sad, but I've made my own AI instrumental versions of every PSB album using a program called Gaudio Studio. Some of them sound great (the tracks with less instrumentation) but some sound terrible. Funny little experiment though. Can you forgive her is a track I've always...
Looks like the PSB show will be broadcasted live on the web for free!! :D

Gosh, the Electric tour was so rejuvenating, so edgy. The album as well of course but with the tour as well it really shone a new light on PSB.
The edginess was what made the Electric era so good. New kind of sound but also new kind of lyrics. Entschuldigung and Get it online should've been on the...
Wouldn't it be great if during this period of time if the boys released a collection of updated unreleased songs (Similar to how they re-did New Boy and finally released it) maybe as a bonus EP.

Thanks yall (I'm from Austin Texas, have to say yall )! It is a nice little instrumental ... definitely feels like it could have been reworked with some lyrics and been a fine little pop track.
I think we’re both a bit autistic - OMG, I've been saying this about them for years!! It's likely what gives them their genius and drive and focus and loyalty but also makes them a bit stroppy and opinionated and difficult to work with. Not to mention...

I haven’t posted on here in so long but as someone diagnosed with ASD, yeah I absolutely see it. Why do you think PSB has such an obsessive collecting community, so bent on analysis, so endlessly fixated? I’m as big of a Smiths and New Order fan as I am with PSB, but never in my life have I seen...
It was the year of the Poll Tax riots, of “No, No, No!”, of Adamski and Sinéad, and Mandela’s release.

I know. I'm sorry. I was a d**k. I'd like to quote ICHH It's only a laugh, no harm done.
On the other hand PSB missed the obvious single... October Symphony would've been a huge hit in large parts of Europe back in 1991.
Darn, Youtube's got a handful or so of some really great versions/covers of Love comes quickly. That song has always been a favourite of mine (and of PSB as well, it seems from interviews). But recently it's grown on me even more. It seems to be a song that can take on a multitude of genres/styles and every time...

Also, can we presume the original copies were not actually recalled and are still out there (ie can...

N&C trying to write a single for Popart GH leading them to have a bunch of tracks enough for a complete album.

I just sent in four questions. I asked about pets these days. What else we may expect in 2024 that they can talk about but not announced yet.
Does anyone have an excact number of how many unique tracks are released credited or co-credited to Tennant/Lowe (or Lowe/Tennant), performed by any artist (including PSB themselves, of course)?
I know that there's a list on Geowayne.com called PSB Song Chronology with 379...

With Relentless being Lowe/Tennant I wonder how many more Lowe/Tennant tracks there are ?
I put together a Pet Shop Boys Halloween playlist and realised there’s loads to go at. They are masters of the macabre!
Over the years Neil has taken lyrical inspiration from various spooks and ghouls and historical horrors. A number of their songs address different forms of madness or psychosis,...

How good Vampires worked on Montage, the version was better than the one in Nightlife and the backing vocals were so amazing:
The lost 1992 album. Yep, they had sort of enough material for a 1992 release. Let's pretend there was no Discography. Streets and DJC would've been non album singles for quite a while and Was it worth it would've been a regular album track. Instead we get the top-10 hit Crying Game featuring Boy...
Last post
Just came to mind that they had Confidential ready in 1992 as well but I'm far from sure it would've been good for the album, at least not with Neil's voice. With Tina it would've been a smash on the album but she didn't record her version until 1995.
I tried to make a list of Neil's solo songs he did in the 1970's (and in the 1980s before meeting Chris). I've gone through the 100 Lyrics book and sifted through most of the FL booklets. I guess, because of general lack of detailed information, I put a song on the list without concern if the...
Last post
So Neil had material for at least two albums written in the 70's
N&C demoed enough songs for two albums in Ray Roberts studio
They recorded enough songs for an album with Bobby O
They (almost) had enough material properly recorded for an EMI album even before the Please sessions started.
